hydroplane hydroplane

I was driving on a highway (I95) heading into Baltimore, MD on a rainy day. All of a sudden the backend of my Ford Escape started to swing back and forth and then slammed into a 18 wheeler truck. I couldn't steer it at all. I believe it hydroplaned. Mt car that whipped around several times across a lane of traffic and ended in the woods after slamming into a tree. I have NEVER had a car behave so terribly in rain in my entire life. I am lucky to be alive. FORD SUCKS!!! Apparently alot of their cars hydroplane just like this and a lot of people have died.
